With 24KGoldn. Note: This show moved from Feb. 3.

$25 ($20 adv.). Due to a scheduling conflict the YBN Cordae show originally scheduled for February 3 at Majestic Theatre has been rescheduled to February 4. Venue will remain the same. All tickets purchased for the February 3 show will be honored at the new date. 

press release: Born to a 16-year-old mother in Raleigh, NC, YBN Cordae wrote his first rhyme at just four-years-old. Settling in Maryland after spending his formative years in North Carolina at his grandma's trailer, he rapped on-command at school. At the age of 15, he began collecting, trading, and buying sneakers, saving up enough money to purchase a home studio. During 2017, he linked up with YBN in between attending Towson University and waiting tables. A year later, he dropped out of college as his remix of Eminem's "My Name Is" and "Old ******" exploded virally. In the aftermath, Cordae's debut single "Kung Fu" popped off with 77 million Spotify streams in less than 12 months. Pegged "one of music's most promising rising stars" by The Wall Street Journal and touted on Complex's "The Best New Artists of 2018," he landed on "Artist to Watch" lists from Amazon Music, New York Times, Billboard, iHeart Radio, and VEVO DSCVR. Everything set the stage for a major mainstream breakthrough in 2019.
